What’s the weather like where you are? Weather is an important part of our lives. The weather affects on how we dress, when we plan a trip, or sometimes how we feel depending on the weather conditions. Therefore, knowing how to talk about the weather in Koran can be a great conversation starter. This post is about the names of each season and weather related vocabulary in Korean.

As I mentioned in this post, Brrr! Winter in South Korea, Korea has four distinctive seasons. Whether you are staying in Korea now, or are planning a trip to Korea in the future, the following list of vocabulary will be useful to talk about the weather conditions in the Korean language.

How do you say each of the four seasons in Korean?

• 계절    (season)
• 봄        (Spring)
• 여름    (Summer)
• 가을    (Fall)
• 겨울    (Winter)

How about the weather related nouns?

• 날씨    (weather)
• 눈        (snow)
• 비        (rain)
• 해        (sun)
• 구름    (cloud)
• 안개    (fog)
• 천둥    (thunder)
• 번개    (lighting)
• 장마    (rainy season)

The followings are common phrases that you can use to describe the weather conditions in Korean.

• 날씨가 어때요?   (How’s the weather?)
• 겨울 날씨가 어때요?   (What’s the winter weather like?)
• 내일 날씨가 어때요?   (What’s the weather like tomorrow?)

* 내일  means tomorrow in Korean.

• 날씨가 좋아요.    (The weather is good.)
• 날씨가 나빠요.    (The weather is bad.)
• 날씨가 맑아요.    (It’s sunny.)
• 겨울은 추워요.    (Winter is cold)
